They may hide behind the guise of their polite manners and delicious fast-food service, but Chick-fil-A employees are actually working for the Devil – at least according to one anti-gay activist, Edge Media Network reports.

In a new Youtube video, Theodore Shoebat has sworn off Chick-fil-A for life and called for the death of the restaurant chain’s employees following the decisions of several franchisee’s to sponsor LGBT-friendly causes in the last year. The company itself has not taken a stance on the matter, only saying that it doesn’t make decisions on local sponsorships.

Orlando – After years of success in Tampa Bay, Dining Out for Life will make its way to the Orlando area this April with benefits from the day-long fundraiser going to The GLBT Center of Central Florida.

Dining Out for Life raises money for AIDS service organizations. It happens every year all over the nation, and the Tampa Bay area was the closest area in Central Florida to participate. That event benefits the AIDS Service Association of Pinellas (ASAP). Local restaurants register to donate a minimum of 25 percent of their gross food and beverage sales on the day of the event, or make a single contribution of $750 or more. Each restaurant is provided a volunteer ambassador that will invite potential customers to the restaurant for the event and also help at the restaurant on that day.
